What Happened
Polestar and Clever are testing a complete V2X solution using Polestar 4 vehicles and Clever's intelligent charging platform in selected Danish homes. The pilot aims to demonstrate how EVs can function as power banks, reducing energy costs and supporting renewable energy use.
- Vehicle-to-Home (V2H): supply power to the home
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): send power back to the grid
- Backup power: provide emergency power during outages
Pilot launches in Denmark with Polestar 4 and Clever's platform
Clever aims to launch first commercial V2X solutions
“In the future, the electric vehicle will not only transport people, but also energy. If electricity prices are high or the energy supply fails, the vehicle can become your power bank for the home or grid, reducing everyday energy costs and, in many cases, supporting increased use of renewable energy. This is a huge opportunity that puts consumers and their cars at the centre of the green energy tr”
Why this matters
The pilot could reduce energy costs, stabilize the grid, and provide backup power, advancing the role of EVs in the green energy transition.
